Play, mix and tweak your plugins from the keyboard – not the mouse. The Nektar Panorama T6 is a 61-note USB MIDI controller with a 2nd Gen synth-action keybed, aftertouch, 8 pressure-sensitive pads, 9 faders and 8 encoders. Its Nektarine software gives deep, pre-mapped control of instrument plugins in any VST/AU DAW, with every change shown on the LCD.
